BUSINESS and COMPUTER SCIENCE (BCS) programs consist<br />
<strong>of</strong> three components: classroom/ laboratory experiences,<br />
which provide instruction that meets industry-validated<br />
standards; work-based learning directly related to classroom<br />
instruction in the form <strong>of</strong> internships, cooperative education,<br />
school-based enterprises, and youth apprenticeship; and the<br />
career and technical student organization <strong>of</strong> FBLA, which<br />
provides co-curricular activities within the program area<br />
to develop teamwork and leadership skills. BCS programs<br />
prepare students to become productive members <strong>of</strong><br />
the business community and to enter a postsecondary<br />
institution after graduation. Students develop competencies<br />
in such areas <strong>of</strong> instruction as finance, legal operations <strong>of</strong><br />
business, administrative support, information management,<br />
international business, entrepreneurship, and management.<br />
As an employer in a small, rural community, for more than 25 years we have experienced the<br />
results and realize the value <strong>of</strong> secondary technical education programs <strong>of</strong>fered students<br />
in our schools. Students are given a chance to acquire skills needed in the workforce, giving<br />
them a way to be productive, self-supporting citizens. These students learn work ethics and<br />
build self-confidence in seeing the fruits <strong>of</strong> their efforts. Six <strong>of</strong> the students whom we hired<br />
from these programs have remained with us from high school through their adult careers as a<br />
viable, contributing part <strong>of</strong> our workforce.”<br />
